Checkboxes

[Fuzzhead]

I have a template and in it there are 20 checkboxes. I have created a user
form to edit the template. How do I save the checkbox info in the form back
to the checkboxes in the template?

You do not "save" it. Are you asking how to set the checkboxes in the
document as checked/unchecked?

Is this really a template? Or a document?

It would also help if you stated what KIND of checkboxes they are in the
document. Formfields - inserted with the Forms toolbar? ActiveX controls -
inserted with the Controls toolbar?

They are Formfields - inserted with the Forms toolbar. Would it be better if
they were ActiveX controls - inserted with the Controls toolbar?

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = True

will put an X in the box.

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = False

will remove it.
